CVPR Daily - Thursday

because I have family in India. That’s obviously a big part of it, but I do think Mumbai is a really nice city as well. Do you see yourself always pursuing your career abroad or will you bring your science back to India? I would really like to one day come back to India. I’m actually moving to Boston in September, where I’ll be working for Google AI Research. I hope that one day, I’ll be able to come back and bring some of this research back. This time, I’m actually working at a non-profit in India called the Wadhwani AI Institute. It’s really nice. They are trying to apply AI to social problems in India. The project that I’m working on will be on baby health, the health of newborn babies. How can your science be helpful to solve social problems in India? After I do this internship for the next two months, I’ll be able to answer your question better. I’m still learning. I think there will be a lot of opportunities. I think this institute in Mumbai is a great example of using AI solutions and try to apply them to problems in India. They target a number of sectors including agriculture and medicine. Basically, it’s a really great organization. After two months, if you askme the same question, I’ll have way more knowledge. When are you going back to the UK? I have no idea. It’s completely in the air. It depends on when flights open and travel resumes. But I’m hoping to be in Boston in September. Find more than 100 interviews of brilliant female scientists here!
